Hotel Okura Amsterdam
Japanese minimalist luxury meets Dutch urban cool. Think quiet corridors, origami details on turned-down beds, kimono-clad waitresses at Yamazato, and floor-to-ceiling city views. It feels more like a refined Tokyo hotel that happens to sit in Amsterdam than a European grand hotel doing a Japanese theme.
Book a Panorama Room (floors 16+) — the jump in views is worth every extra euro over a Superior Room
Why It Matters
The only hotel in Amsterdam with three Michelin-starred restaurants under one roof. Yamazato holds the distinction of being the first traditional Japanese restaurant outside Japan to earn a Michelin star. The 23rd-floor Ciel Bleu holds two stars. It's also a rare true high-rise in a famously flat city — views that no canal house can match.
A 23-floor tower that genuinely stands out in the low-rise De Pijp neighborhood south of Amsterdam's city center. The building is Japanese not just in name but in aesthetic — soothingly minimalist public spaces, impeccable omotenashi service, and four restaurants that collectively hold three Michelin stars and a Bib Gourmand. The Rijksmuseum and Albert Cuyp Market are within walking distance, but many guests barely leave the building.
Where You'll Stay
14 room types available
Baron Okura Suite
Situated on floor 22 with panoramic views of the entire city. Named after Baron Kishichiro Okura, the hotel group's founder. One of the highest accommodations in the building with corresponding views.
Corner Suite
Corner positioning gives this suite a dual-aspect view over Amsterdam. Separate bedroom and living room. A recent giveaway prize — one night here plus breakfast was offered as a top prize — which speaks to how well-regarded these rooms are among regulars.
Executive Junior Suite
Junior Suite space with Executive Lounge privileges. Gets you the extra square footage plus complimentary aperitifs and snacks at the Panorama Lounge each evening.
Executive Room
Unlocks access to the exclusive Executive Lounge — the Panorama Lounge — where pre-dinner drinks and light snacks are served with sweeping city views. A meaningful perk that justifies the premium over Standard rooms.
Panorama Junior Suite
Panorama Room with an expanded lounge area. Upper-floor views, Japanese bathroom fittings, and the full suite setup for guests who want space plus the view.
Panorama Room
Located on the upper floors — guests have reported floor 19+ — with full panoramic city views. Features a Japanese Toto toilet and a lighting/curtain/temperature control panel. Panorama Lounge access included. These are among the most popular rooms for first-timers.
Presidential Suite
On the 21st floor, with sweeping views over the Amsterdam skyline. The hotel's flagship suite for heads of state and VIP guests. Hypoallergenic bedding, minibar, in-room safe, dedicated desk.
Royal Suite
One of the top-tier suites. Generous living and sleeping space with distinctive Japanese touches — previous photos show origami cranes on the bed as a turndown gesture.
Superior Junior Suite
A step up in space with a proper lounge area. Sizes run 30–43 sqm. Keeps all the standard in-room comforts plus a more generous layout for unpacking and relaxing after museum rounds.
40 sqmSuperior Room
Entry-level rooms starting at around 30–39 sqm. Each comes with a separate bathtub, rain shower, Eastborn bed, Nespresso machine, and a large desk with adjustable leather chair. City-facing views vary. Access to Nagomi Gym & Wellness included.

The Junior Suite configuration with a guaranteed city view assignment. Good value-to-space ratio for guests who want more room to spread out without going full Executive.
40 sqmSuperior View Room

36 sqmThe Imperial Suite
The hotel's grandest and most exclusive accommodation. Full imperial-grade suite with separate empress and emperor bedrooms. The pinnacle of what the building offers — for guests who want the full Tokyo-luxury-hotel-in-Amsterdam experience.
